Re: Nintendo Switch
My son is LOVING the ARMS demo. He can't get enough of it and is even strategizing arm combos when not playing.
Re: Nintendo Switch
Oh, I know several people that are Switch only. I think people that own multiple consoles are the weird ones, even if the Swtitch does make a great second console for XB1 or PS4 fans.Danimal wrote:Right which brings the question what is the point. I don't know anyone that owns ONLY a Switch. Why on earth would you want to play crippled versions of EA Sports titles on a Switch if you own other systems.Dave wrote:Other than Tiger, yes they were horrible.Danimal wrote:I think they had terrible sales for EA Sports on previous Nintendo systems.
The biggest problem with the cripple sports titles wasn't thatchy were better elsewhere but that as crippled sites, they just sucked, period. The second Nintendo went with unconventional controls and underpowered hardware, they jacked up any chance of decent ports. Their best bet is just to go with ports of last gen EA Sports games now that the have a decent controller. The hardware is still underpowered.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I'm enjoying my switch and would like to play it more in portable mode, but it's super uncomfortable in my hands after only 15 minutes or so. Hoping someone releases an accessory to help. All the grips I've seen so far are for when the joycon's are detached, which is not how I want to use the system...

Wow that is pretty poor, 10 million units by March 2018. Most places are selling them in bundles only now that you need to pre-order, guess this explains why.Murph wrote:Nintendo slashes Switch consoles sales target as Apple gobbles up components.

Re: Nintendo Switch
When not at the hospital, I have spent way too much time looking for a Switch. Nadia loves Nintendo, especially Zelda, and I would love to surprise her with one when she gets out of the hospital.

Re: Nintendo Switch
Gamestop was taking pre-orders on bundles as of last week to be delivered next week. That is probably your best bet.grtwhtsk wrote:When not at the hospital, I have spent way too much time looking for a Switch.

No luck, nothing available on Gamestop's site. Thanks for the tip though. I will keep checking.Danimal wrote:Gamestop was taking pre-orders on bundles as of last week to be delivered next week.

Re: Nintendo Switch
Steve, not sure how you feel about Craigslist meetups but I got mine for about 350-360 via that route. That's barely a markup, at least here in So. California. Of course the next day I came across two of them at Target. Go figure. Picked one up for my nephew too just because it was there.

Scott, thanks for the tip. I am going to keep hitting the pavement for a bit and hope to get lucky.
Re: Nintendo Switch
I was honestly thinking of selling mine since nobody can find them. My son moved out, and the only one left in the house that may play it is my daughter. So I asked her about getting rid of it, and she about lost it.
So much for that idea.

Switch's upcoming online service. It's no Xbox Live.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I don't mind owning a Switch for the games nintendo will put out. But their online play and and chat options are f***in ridiculous. For couch play and solo games, the Switch is great. But it is embarrassing how little Nintendo understands about the internet.
And if people thought the XB1 was released too soon and not ready, the Switch must be a monstrosity. But since everyone is playing Zelda, no one really notices. But there is a reason I own MK and have not played it online.

Re: Nintendo Switch
How do they put online features on those old games?
Probably leaderboards or something like that?

Re: Nintendo Switch
Not a good sign because other 3rd party companies will hear about this and may bypass Switch development in the future. I saw 5 Switch at a Walmart and I still couldn't pull the trigger.Danimal wrote:http://www.pastapadre.com/2017/06/26/pa ... ndo-switch

Re: Nintendo Switch
Haven't felt the need for anything else, but my daughter still plays Zelda religiously, months later (which is unusual in our house).

Re: Nintendo Switch
A screen protector for sure. Get em on Amazon, like 10 bucks for the tempered glass. Only if you're going to put it in and out of the system all the time. Prevents the docking station from scratching the screen.Danimal wrote:Just impulse bought a Switch and Zelda off Amazon. Not really sure what else I would need wit the base system.
The Pro controller, while expensive, it's pretty damn good.
Re: Nintendo Switch
I never felt comfortable using the Switch in handheld mode, but the JoyCon Gel Guards have helped immensely. Better grip, and more comfortable. I might check out the JoyCon Armor Guard as well...Danimal wrote:Just impulse bought a Switch and Zelda off Amazon. Not really sure what else I would need wit the base system.

Re: Nintendo Switch
I love the Pro controller. Also, if you end up downloading a decent number of games, you might eventually need a micro SD card.Danimal wrote:Just impulse bought a Switch and Zelda off Amazon. Not really sure what else I would need wit the base system.
Be sure to add my Switch ID in my sig.

Re: Nintendo Switch
Well damn....now WWE 2K18 is coming to the Switch. I'm not upset, but knowing my son is going to want this version along with the PS4 version makes me not as excited!
